How are the tutors trained?
Volunteers who have a Bachelors degree or post secondary education apply, go through a selection process, and then undertake formal training by a certificated tutor trainer. Those who are accepted as volunteer tutors are trained at no cost to themselves. The basic level of training requires 45 hours of concentrated classroom learning and 100 hours of hands-on supervised practicum before being certificated. As part of the training and continuing supervision of the tutors, every tutoring session is video recorded and then archived, thus ensuring the personal security of the child as well.
